She loves Taylor Swift,” Liu said. “Taylor Swift\u2019s songs and her music, that was a big part of the beginning of our relationship, was getting to know her through those songs, and why they meant so much to her.”<\/p>\n Todd Owyoung\/NBC<\/p>\n Simu Liu during his Dec. 15 appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”<\/p>\n He continues, “I was like, ‘Well, there’s one person that would make this engagement so special,’ and I reached out \u2014 as if we’re BFFs, no I mean I met her a couple of times, she’s fantastic \u2014 I reached out to Taylor through her publicist and I said, ‘Hey, is there any way that I could convince you to make like a two-second video just to say congrats?’ And she literally two days later sent it over, and I was able to play it for her. And so Taylor Swift was the cherry on top.”<\/p>\n Hsu was overwhelmed with emotion when she saw the pop star’s video.<\/p>\n \u201cShe was really emotional before and then when I played that video, she just completely lost it,\u201d Liu remembered.<\/p>\n Simu Liu\/X<\/p>\n Simu Liu and Allison Hsu at Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert in Seattle<\/p>\n Never miss a story \u2014 sign up for PEOPLE’s free daily newsletter<\/a> to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.<\/p>\n Liu, who announced his engagement via a joint\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0post on May 11, gushed that Swift is “absolutely just fantastic” and “so nice and so sweet.” Like Hsu, the actor is a longtime fan of Swift.
